Cant connect to localhost

[geoff.andreychuk]

I am having trouble trying to connecting to my machines with BoincTasks, I have 3 machines (2 desktops and a laptop), I have installed tasks on 2 of the machines (1 desktop and 1 laptop) the other desktop I have only installed the toolbox to help allow remote access.

I am successfully able to connect to the other machines through BoincTasks, my laptop can see both my desktops, and my one desktop can see the other desktop and my laptop.

Where I am having problems is connecting to the localhost in BoincTasks and get stuck with just having the status say password

I dont know if others had this problem, but I mannaged to find a work-a-round by copying the password that I had for my laptop on my desktop and vice-versa.

I dont know if others had this problem, but I mannaged to find a work-a-round by copying the password that I had for my laptop on my desktop and vice-versa.

In that case BoincTasks is not allowed access to the BOINC folder and is unable to read the password file.
Take a look at the BoincTasks log file Show->Log Look for the line  localhost get local password:
